mj 7 Posted January 7, 2006 Those were nice thoughts. Thank you for sharing them. The thought of hot chocolate always brings out a smile. For a while, until my diabetes was brought under control, I could not drink it. ( Sugar-free does not do it.) My mother, a widow, was just reminiscing about a road trip she took with my father. They had to drive a car I bought from my brother all the way across the country to California, where I was living at the time. She was remembering both the special time she had with Dad and the spectacular physical beauty of the United States. A couple more: Flowers in full bloom ( I have been enjoying my African violets which almost seem to be blooming sequentially. One plant was in full bloom in December. Its pink blooms are fading now, but a plant with purple and white blooms is currently in full bloom. The African violet on the same plant stand has new buds, and will probably bloom as the purple blooms fail. They are just lovely to look at!) Add sunsets to sunrises. Remember Geordi and the sunrise in Insurrection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted January 8, 2006 Chip cookies and milk - I love the feel of fresh washed sheets when you slide into them. Waking up and realizing it's the weekend and you can stay in bed. A child's hugs and kisses Accomplishing a goal Fireflies Sitting on the porch listening to the crickets and other evening sounds The smell of orange blossoms on an evening walk. Purring kittens Rainy afternoons and a good book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krissy Phaserman 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Those are ALL great! how about a lazy sunday, sitting on the front porch swing (We have two!), watching the kids play in the yard? relaxing in front of the fireplace during a cold winter night, especially when the one you love is next to you. Always a good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
